Poppies and rememberance

TheCatWoman

Do you wear a poppy and go to rememberance services?

I feel really ambivalent about them and it. I wish there was more focus on those who came/come back brokens. I say this as the Grandaughter of one of the "lions led by donkey's", my Grandda suffered from what we now know as PTSD, he sacrificed his sanity and the legacy still runs through our family to this day. Why do we not remember the sacrifice people like him made?

  • The poppies have always been made by ex-servicemen (who have mental or physical impairments) to provide them with work and the money raised from selling the poppies is also used by the Royal British Legion to supports other ex-servicemen who have mental or physical impairments.
